Answer:

The gravitational force between them quadruples

Explanation:

According to law of gravitation, the force of attraction (F) between two masses m1 and m2 is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance(r) between them. Mathematically,

F1 = Gm1m2/r²... 1

If their masses doubles, the formula becomes;

F2 = G(2m1)(2m2)/r²

F2 = 4Gm1m2/r² ... 2

Dividing equation 2 by 1, we have;

F2/F1 = {4Gm1m2/r²}÷{Gm1m2/r²}

F2/F1 = 4Gm1m2/r²×r²/Gm1m2

F2/F1 = 4

F2 = 4F1

The gravitational force between the masses when they doubles quadruples.

PtichkaEL [24]
This phenomena is referred to as metal projectile injury/effect. MRI stands for magnetic resonance imaging. As expected, your body is subjected to a magnetic field. This is a technique to look inside your body without cutting it open. Metals should not be placed anywhere near an MRI because it will cause the metals to follow the direction of the magnetic field.

Bill leaves his 60 W desk lamp on every day, including weekends, for eight hours. After one month (30 days), how much total ener
maxonik [38]

' W ' is the symbol for 'Watt' ... the unit of power equal to 1 joule/second.

That's all the physics we need to know to answer this question.
The rest is just arithmetic.

(60 joules/sec) · (30 days) · (8 hours/day) · (3600 sec/hour)

= (60 · 30 · 8 · 3600) (joule · day · hour · sec) / (sec · day · hour)

= 51,840,000 joules

Excuse me.  That will never do.
I see they want the answer in units of kilowatt-hours (kWh).
In that case, it's

(60 watts) · (30 days) · (8 hours/day) · (1 kW/1,000 watts)

= (60 · 30 · 8 · 1 / 1,000) (watt · day · hour · kW / day · watt)

= 14.4 kW·hour

Rounded to the nearest whole number:

14 kWh
